Walter Dehority1, Satoshi Uchiyama, Arya Khosravi, Victor Nizet.   

Abstract

Responsible for many childhood diseases, group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a rare cause of central nervous system infections. We report the case of a previously healthy boy with brain abscesses caused by M/emm type 12 GAS and review the case in the context of the published literature and recent epidemiological data.
